A step-by-step guide to traditional timber-frame building, written specially for beginners.

Veteran timber framer Will Beemer takes you through the entire process of building a traditional timber frame from start to finish, beginning with timber sourcing and ending with a finished building. Using full-color photos, detailed drawings, and clear step-by-step instructions, Beemer shows exactly how to build one small (12ʹ x 16ʹ) structure suitable for use as a cabin, workshop, or studio. 

Désormais classique, ce manuel professionnel contient les techniques, les connaissances et les savoir-faire nécessaires à la réalisation des maisons à ossature bois, de la conception à la mise en oeuvre. Les nouveaux matériaux, l'évolution des méthodes de construction et la publication de normes qui leur sont adaptées exigeaient qu'il soit actualisé, ce qu'ont rigoureusement fait ses deux auteurs, l'enseignant et l'ingénieur.

Fully updated to cover the latest techniques and standards, the eighth edition of this comprehensive resource leads you through the complete design of a wood structure following the same sequence used in the actual design/construction process. Detailed equations, clear illustrations, and practical design examples are featured throughout the text. This up-to-date edition conforms to both the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and the 2018 National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS).

Civil engineering has made an inestimable contribution to modern life, providing the crucial expertise behind our vast transportation systems and the wide array of built structures where we work, study, and play. In this Very Short Introduction, engineer David Muir Wood turns a spotlight on a field that we often take for granted.
